Bye October

Byeeee October! While I love the month, October this year was not the best. I lost my cousin and we had a terrible time with the daycare. I sat on the edge of my "seat" waiting for a job and last night, while I was out, the Husband called a doctor to come to our apartment to check the Kid and now it seems like he has an ear infection. Le sigh. When I got home, the Kid was sleeping on the sofa so I moved him into our bed where he spent the night breakdancing in his sleep. At one point I was awakened because he inadvertently kicked me in the face. I am not sure why he was in that position. Around 4 a.m. he was lying on my legs. At 5 he got up and poked me and asked for milk and walked back to his crib. He seems to be fine this morning so I'm not sure if it is an ear infection or just an irritation. Bye October.

The best part of October was finding out about my job - yes, awesome. And of course the Halloween party. I think that this past month planned to make it a whirlwind of emotions for me to make sure I'm strong enough. It was a test. I think I passed. But now I can go forward. Bye October.

Today is an Austrian public holiday but not at work. I was not in the mood to leave home this morning. At least it is a Friday and I know I have a relaxing weekend in front of me. Actually, not so relaxing; I have work to do. Something interesting is happening and I will mention this something interesting when I know more. It will be something on the side that I think would make me veddy veddy happy. Stay tuned.

I cannot believe that it is now November. Now is the time to start the Christmas shopping. I have already purchased a couple of things but I still have lots and lots to buy. I prefer quantity over quality. Not to say my gifts are crap, but I like to give lots of little stuff. It's my way to say "I love you".

Just a few more hours to go and then I can head home and spend time with the Kid and make dinner and drink wine and think "No party planning, this weekend". I think I will even take a bath and do my nails and perhaps, if I have the energy, dye my hair. I'm thinking dark brown. Bangs? Hipster glasses? Lipo? So many regretful things can happen.

Totally the plan
Totally the outcome
Saturday morning will involve a little bit of shopping. I'm on the lookout for a couple of heeled boots. And pink tinsel. In the afternoon we'll take a Fall walk and then come home to crockpot Thai curry and maybe we'll even stay up long enough to watch a film that lasts just over 90 minutes. We aim high. We're crazy! CRAZY LIKE A FOX!

So, I salute you, November, let's make this month awesome! I have a feeling, you will be. Bye October.

A Key Word Post

I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi

A Tova Movie Re-cap: Bram Stoker's Dracula

You all like that I am reviewing films that are over 20 years old, right? I'm like Grandpa Simpson. Today's post is a re-cap of one of my all time favourite Halloween movies EVER. And it isn't just a Halloween movie.. it is so much more. It is Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. I remember exactly when I saw this film for the first time. We were at my Godmother's cottage in Quebec and my parents and I and my brother headed to the video store. I stood in front of this VHS cover and stared and stared (that's how I would let my parents know I wanted something back in the day. I was not allowed to beg for toys so in my brilliant infantile wisdom, I concocted a full proof plan. I would stand in front of a toy (probably a My Little Pony) and stare and stare and stare. I was subtle. I still do this today at jewelry stores.) I was 12 years old at the time and had graduated from being fascinated with witches to vampires. Puberty, guys. I was OBSESSED wi

The Way Some People Find my Blog and a Challenge

Image
Now, I am not sure why people read my blog. O.k., there are some reasons that people read my blog... they are interested in autism, they like my use of gifs, they are my friends and want to support me, sometimes I make them laugh, they want to see if they are mentioned in it, they live in Vienna and want to know where I go so they can avoid bumping into me... I don't have a sophisticated stat counter on my blog. The only thing I can really see is the number of page views, which countries those page views are coming from and what people search for and somehow end up on my blog. So I decided today to post the most common terms that bring people to my page. And some of them are amusing. Pros and cons to living in Vienna : This one is pretty understandable. I did a whole "pros vs. cons" post a while ago. I think if I had to move to a new city I would most likely type in the same thing. As well as, "average price of alcohol".
